At this time we are unable to provide any additional information to help refine the scope of the request. As we are an anonymous public records site, we are only able to provide your office with the request details we received initially.

Additionally, we cannot commit to covering any fees / associated costs related to any requests on our site. We will mark this request as “Completed” on our site, and will share the information you’ve provided. If the sender sees this info, they may choose to submit a new request via our website, or they may reach out to your office directly.

Thank you for your patience as we have been trying to scope this request.

After reviewing your request, these are the results. The query you are requesting would generate in excess of 300,000 email messages. Each of these messages would need to be reviewed to prevent records that are closed under the Missouri Sunshine Law and St. Louis County Ordinance from being delivered. The current estimate of the cost to fulfill this request is in excess of $50,000, and it would take several months to complete. If you can provide a topic or key words that we can use to refine the search, I would be happy to generate a new estimate. If you wish to proceed with this request, I will generate a more detailed estimate for prepayment of the fees. How would you like to proceed with this request?

We’ve received a new public records request via our website www.sunshinerequest.com for information that may be available in your office.

I work for a website called Sunshine Request www.sunshinerequest.com. We built a site that makes it easier to make public records requests by filling out a simple form, and the results of any requests are posted on our site. This allows citizens to learn more about our local government, while saving staff from having to fulfill duplicate requests. If you have any questions about the project, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to answer.

Please confirm receipt to let us know the request will begin processing, and if possible, please provide a rough estimate of when the request may be completed. We will plan on following up again around that time.

Here are the details of the request:

Subject: (April 2020) Request for all emails sent 10/01/19-4/10/20 by employees of St. Louis County (MO) Information Technology Dept.
